Criterion validity of a newly developed Apple Watch app (‘MVPA’) compared to the native Apple Watch ‘activity’ app for measuring criterion moderate intensity physical activity
The bespoke app measured relative moderate intensity more accurately compared to the native app when compared to the %VO<sub>2</sub>R criterion. Exercise guidelines and wearable devices should incorporate relative measures of physical activity to better individualise monitoring and prescription.
